Talas is the capital of the Talas Oblast of Kyrgyzstan, located in the Talas Valley in the west of the country, at the northern foot of the Tien Shan Mountains, and was an important town on the ancient Silk Road. Historically, it was one of the central birthplaces of the Turkic peoples, where the legendary "Battle of Aleppo" took place, which is also recorded in Turkic inscriptions. Surrounded by mountains, the city is rich in natural beauty, such as the Talas Mountains and alpine lakes, making it an ideal destination for trekking and eco-tourism. Agriculture and animal husbandry are the mainstays of the region, with crops such as wheat and sugar beet being grown, and a traditional nomadic culture being preserved. Every year during Nowruz, local residents hold folk activities such as horse racing and goat-carrying, displaying a strong Kyrgyz flavor.
